Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Insiders are sharing how one IT giant favored Indian H-1B workers over US employees. In October, a jury in a federal class-action lawsuit returned a verdict that found Cognizant intentionally discriminated against more than 2,000 non-Indian employees between 2013 and 2022. The H-1B program was designed to help US employers find specialized talent. But a decade’s worth of records from the US Department of Labor shows that outsourcing companies, including Cognizant, have used the visas mostly to fill lower-level positions, such as IT system analysts and administrators. In July, a Bloomberg News investigation revealed how outsourcing firms have overwhelmed the annual lottery for a limited number of new H-1B visas.
